Huge thanks to the organisers, helpers and the competitors for such a fantastic weekend. For those of you who didn't make it, make sure you get there next year as heaps of fun no matter your car or driving experience.

I could not find upload folder instead of uploading single image every time. This takes too long (100+ pictures)

I have uploaded on my Google Drive but I cannot link it here (You must have 5 posts before you can post URL's/Links)

HI Guys, My thanks to my fellow committee members who have helped make this a successful event. There is also a lot of effort required to make this event run smoothly. Was a great day. Also my thanks to all those that participated in the event. Apart from a couple of spins we had an incident free day. You co-operation and helpfulness through the pit was much appreciated.

My sincere thanks to the people that volunteered to do Marshaling and time keeping on the day. You all did a great job. As the Marshall's would probably not come on this forum if you personally know any of them please pass on our thanks.

Again a big to thank you to all involved.

Thanks to all involved, it has been 9 years since I was last attended this event, and the same time since I last drove around the Taupo track (notice not race, not going fast enough for that) might have to get the zed going again so I can go faster than my mini

I add my weight to the chorus of thanks it was a fantastic event and day
Bernie great job in the pits with lining up each group, and that car of yours is fast, nothing in it between yours and my 300 in a straight line

My thanks to the organizers and volunteers,

Thanks David. The recent changes have certainly reaped the benefits. I think an LSD and decent wheels and rubber is next on the list.

Finally catching up after the weekend.

A huge thank you to everyone, whether they be participant, helping in some way shape or form, including providing the lunches, marshalling, the young Fuller lads for helping with the timer spotting, plus many more. It's what a great event is all about.

A big thank you to our event sponsors who help to top the icing on the cake for the event with some awesome prizes, and they are:

* Race Brakes
* Health House/Helfee
* Profile International
* City Nissan in Takapuna
* Alert Motorsport
* VTNZ

As always our favourite Z home in Taupo Ascot Motor Inn, for looking after us all, and providing us with a bbq on Friday and Saturday nights including the massive cooked ham! Yum!

Another way you can all help make next years event even better is by spreading the word amongst other Zedders and get them along to this event.
Roll on 2017 Taupo Track Day!!!!
